I am still waiting to run across a free piece of tyvek. In the meantime I have a small piece of heavy duty plastic that has worked well for a couple years. Also use it to lay down like a sitpad or lay items on to keep them clean when cooking or whatnot.

I use a 3 mil trash bag as my "welcome mat". Holds up well, light weight, packs up small and can double as rain protection for gear if needed. It's not officially a campsite until the welcome mat comes out.

I know this is a fairly old thread - but what are you guys doing to keep your "mat" in place under the hammock?
I have a piece of Tyvek - and I'm thinking rocks or something in the corners would work, but I'm curious what other people do?

I use a DIY 15d silnylon poncho I made. I never really use it as it just an emergency shelter/ rainwear so it sometimes double duties as a ground cloth, although I don't always use it.

although with the possibilities of me going to ground I sometimes take a reflectix/ccf/ or a DIY hybrid as the poncho is very thin. I then use this as a ground cloth to save wear and tear to the poncho
